Who else misses going to coffee shops? We know we do!

This 2021, normalcy is highly dependent on where you are in the world – some countries are almost back to normal while others are still imposing lockdowns after lockdowns. The Philippines falls into the latter category, unfortunately. That said, the moment the studio got this coffee shop rendering project, we knew we had to create wonderful images out of our great love for coffee and sad longing for hours spent inside a café.

We were tasked to create a coffee shop exterior rendering for a new building along 80 Parton Road, Papamoa, New Zealand. The building developer aims to show possible coffee shop tenants the potential of the commercial space for their business.

For the project, a 3D model was provided by the client. 

Usually when we get this kind of file, we do the model clean-up, texturing and mapping based on specifications, as well as detailing of landscape, entourage and interiors.

However, the first thing we always do is a google street view check. The building is still non-existent but one take-away from this quick peek is that the whole area is low lying, no high rise buildings or mountain views.  Here are some reference images we looked into. The vibe we went for is industrial but with wood tones to add warmth. Here is a screenshot of our 3D model file after some work done. Detailing is definitely the most tedious part of the process. We always put a lot of effort in this step because we believe details make or break a rendering.

Some clay render tests below. We had our fun and added some extra views.
